Taxation and Accountability in Local Government: A Democratic Deficit in Andhra Pradesh
This study looks at the vibrancy of local democracy through linkages between local tax collection and accountability: When villagers pay taxes to the village panchayat are they more likely to hold the panchayat accountable? Fifty villages in Andhra Pradesh were surveyed through 500 structured interviews. The study found that in the low-tax environment where panchayats generally follow government-established minimum tax rates, the level of taxatio…
Clientelism and the Democratic Deficit
This article examines the usefulness of the theory of clientelism for understanding the politics of Andhra Pradesh (AP), where pressures to secure election funds as populations became more mobile led political leaders to seek centralized control over state resources and access to private funds. Innovative chief ministers sought new ways of relating to voters that undercut local leaders, leading to populist politics and a shift towards programmati…
Democracy, Governance and Political Parties in India: An Introduction
The party political domain of India is replete with a large number of parties representing the tapestry of the Indian society. Many of them are based in specific regions and states, built around social and linguistic identities. While this enhanced the representative character of the parties, it also contributed to varied patterns of political competition and unstable governments. The two major national parties—the Congress and the Bharatiya Jana…
Political Society, Civil Society, and the State in India
This article is an ethnography portraying the processual and performative dimensions of the 2009 state assembly election in Andhra Pradesh. It shows how upper castes have persisted in power in a multicaste and increasingly democratic society through the distribution of welfare and patronage benefits to more marginalized segments of society. Conceptually, it argues for the importance of “political society” over “civil society,” when examining stat…
Moving from clientelist politics toward a welfare regime: Evidence from the 2009 assembly election in Andhra Pradesh
Increases in government revenue in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India, have enabled provision of welfare benefits without revenue caps, which has removed the need for clientelist intermediaries. In this transition from clientelism, the government has led the way, a different path from other societies where the middle class has initiated political reforms leading to the demise of clientelism. The formerly dominant castes, which continue to control…

Rock Sources of Ground Stone Tools of the Chalcolithic Period in Cyprus
Correct rock terminology applicable to Cyprus is defined and probable rock sources exploited in the Chalcolithic period are outlined. Igneous rocks for axes, adzes, and other tools demanding a hard rock include diabase, basalt, pyroxene andesite, microgabbro, and gabbro. Sedimentary rocks for rubbing stones, querns, rubbers, pestles, and pounders include varieties of limestone, chalk, and sandstone. Lemba and Mosphilia most likely drew on local b…
Archaeology, geochemistry, and trade of Igneous Rock millstones in Cyprus during the late bronze age to Roman periods
Millstones used in Cyprus between the Late Bronze Age and Roman periods (saddle querns, reciprocally operated hopper‐rubber mills, cylindrical rotary querns, and hour‐glass‐shaped Pompeian style mills) were frequently manufactured from igneous rocks including vesicular lavas clearly imported to the island. Potential sources include volcanics of mainland Greece, the Aegean, Anatolia, Egypt, and the Levant (Syria, Israel, and Jordan). Geochemical a…

Decline of a Patrimonial Regime: The Telengana Rebellion in India, 1946-51
Recent studies of peasant rebellions in colonial countries have tended to focus attention on the persons who rebelled. The egregious conditions that aroused their indignation, the social and economic transformations that gave them the capacity to act, the leaders who came forward to mobilize them-these are the questions most commonly asked to explain peasant militancy and rebellion.This perspective can yield only a partial view, for it leaves in …
